<p>&quot;Don't be concerned about the <strong>outward beauty</strong> <br />
        that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive<br />
        jewellery, or beautiful clothes. You should be<br />
        known for the <strong>beauty that comes from within</strong>,<br />
        the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,<br />
        which is so precious to God.&quot; 1 Peter 3:3-4<br />
        <br />
        This &quot;<strong>beauty that comes from within</strong>&quot; is that . . .<br />
        meekness,<br />
        quietness,<br />
        gentleness,<br />
        brokenness of heart,<br />
        contrition of spirit,<br />
        humility of mind, <br />
        tenderness of conscience, <br />
        which are fitting to the children of God. <br />
        <br />
        A gentle and quiet spirit is <strong>a woman's best ornament</strong>. <br />
        <br />
        As to other gay and unbecoming ornaments, let those <br />
        wear them, who wish to serve and to enjoy . . .<br />
        the lust of the flesh,<br />
        the lust of the eyes,<br />
        and the pride of life. <br />
        <br />
        Let the &quot;daughters of Zion&quot; manifest they have other <br />
        ornaments than what the world admires and approves. <br />
        Let them covet . . .<br />
        the teachings of God,<br />
        the smiles of His love,<br />
        the whispers of His favour.<br />
        The more they have of these, the less will they care <br />
        for the adornments which the &quot;daughters of Canaan&quot;<br />
        run so madly after; by which also they often impoverish <br />
        themselves, and by opening a way for admiration, too <br />
        often open a way for seduction and ruin.
